Win a Baumatic Range Cooker with Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil

 I have noticed that bottles of Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil are currently sporting neck braces promoting a competition to win a top of the range Baumatic BRC4IV dual fuel range cooker, and with 6 up for grabs, it’s definitely worth entering if you have always fancied yourself in a traditional (yet luxurious) country kitchen. However, if you are one of those very restraint shoppers (respect to you) who won’t buy a product just because it is on offer or has an alluring competition, below  is a perfect summer recipe crying out for extra virgin olive oil. So what with the scorching weather predicted this week, you really have no option other than to buy this particular brand of olive oil, and as it happens to have a competition attached, it would be rude not to enter…
